How to Remove Wine Stains from Carpets and Upholstery

Immediate Steps (Within Minutes):

Blot, Don't Rub: Use a clean white cloth to blot up excess wine. Rubbing will spread the stain deeper into fibers.
Cold Water Rinse: Pour a small amount of cold water and continue blotting. Never use hot water, as heat sets protein-based stains.
Absorb Moisture: Use paper towels or a clean cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible.
For Fresh Stains:

Mix one tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and two cups of warm water.

Apply the solution to the stain
Let it sit for 5 minutes
Blot with a clean cloth

Blot dry
For Set-In Stains:
